Down Royal Fri, 6th Sep, 2024 (1st) 
He has proven stamina and Ronnie gave him a brilliant ride. He doesn't help himself because he doesn't travel great, he needs a strong gallop. I haven't come across a horse as tough as him. He is running over all these marathon trips the whole time and you can't believe how well he bounces out of it. He has done us proud this summer and hopefully he is not finished yet. We thought we would go down to a ladies' maiden down in Tramore and you come up against Familiar Dreams. He is a right horse owned by magnificent people. We were thinking of travelling him, over hurdles as well too, but then this race showed its face and we said we have to come here. He suffers a little bit from heat stress. As soon as he finishes, we get water onto him straight away and he bounces out in 15 minutes. He's grand.

He ran a belter in Galway before (second at the Festival in 2022) so that is something that we could think about and there is a nice conditions race in Cork.

Killarney Mon, 16th May, 2022 (1st)
He has been running well and his run the last day was very good. The problem we had was he wasn't coming on from his runs and it was taking too much out of him. He has stepped forward this year, is a bit stronger and is more mature and relaxed at the races, which is all helping. He got a peach of a ride from Bryan and likes racing prominently, and he said he'd stay three miles - he's not the quickest but is all heart. We'll see what the handicapper does and you would like to think he would be a nice horse for the 2m6f handicap hurdle at Galway and maybe he will get a race in before that.

He didn't jump fluently over fences but his second run was a good run. Back over hurdles today he jumped himself into it and travelled and he handles summer soft. I'll probably leave fences alone until next season and give him the full season as a novice hurdler so we'll tip away and see what we can pick up with him. He is a nice horse to have in the yard and we gave him a bit of a break with the intention for having him ready for Leopardstown at Christmas, so today is a stepping stone towards that.

Clonmel Thu, 5th Sep, 2019 (1st)
He toughed it out well and it was his last chance to race in that 80-95 grade today so we said we'd take our chance. It was a bit quick but he is tough out. Today's trip was as short as he'd want and not knocking the rest of the horses, but it looked a middling race the last day. We might give him a pop over a fence before the ground goes heavy - he's not one for winter ground. He has great scope and he wants safe, yielding ground.

Ballinrobe Tue, 27th Aug, 2019 (1st)
We were a bit worried about the ground to be honest,. I thought it might be gone for him but he's a hardy little lad. He got through it alright - he wouldn't be in love with it but he's just tough. He got boxed in on Friday evening and just got no run. He finished out his race real well. After seeing that we said we'd go again as he bounced out of it so well. I'm delighted for the lads (the owners) - they'll enjoy it!. We might look at Listowel but it's just grand to get him over the line.
